Hokage's office.
Several key figures who participated in the siege gathered together, waiting for the Hokage's speech.
After Jiraiya handed over the action report, the third generation glanced at it briefly, then held the cigarette in his mouth and said nothing.
The report elaborated on the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the masked man, as well as the information on the rebel ninja that appeared during the encirclement and suppression.
Orochimaru, Scorpion, Loquat Juzo, Kakuzu.
When the names of the traitorous ninjas appeared in the words, the third generation could only sigh deeply.
These are dangerous rebel ninjas from every village. The danger level is at least S-level. Even if a whole ANBU team goes to arrest them, there is a high probability that they will come back defeated.
The strength of these rebel ninja names alone has surpassed that of most small ninja villages.
The Amegakure Village, which could once be considered the sixth largest ninja village, was nothing more than that.
After pondering for a moment, perhaps because he didn't want to believe it, the third generation asked Jiraiya: "Jiraiya, do they really belong to the same organization?"
Jiraiya nodded solemnly, judging from what he saw, this was indeed the case.
Danzo, who was standing beside him, also secretly gave the third generation a confirming look.
Seeing this, the third generation no longer took any chances, and sighed like Nannan: "With so many rebel ninjas gathered together, what do they want to do? Do they want to attack Konoha, or do they want to establish a new ninja village?"
The third generation muttered to himself but received no response. The others were also at a loss and could not figure out their purpose.
After a moment of silence, the third generation looked at Hyugazo and others who were performing the mission. The cause of this encirclement and suppression was the intelligence provided by the latter.
Although the final result failed, more important information was gained.
There is a mercenary organization lurking in the ninja world that is comparable to the strength of the ninja village, and one of them created the Nine-Tails Rebellion.
In order to deceive the masked man's trust, Hyugazo risked his life to deal with him.
Now it seems that Hyugazo's loyalty to the village is unquestionable, and the same may be true for Yin who was influenced by him.
It's just that their loyalty is to the village, not to themselves, the Third Hokage.
Is it because of Minato?
Recalling the high-spirited Minato wearing the Hokage hat, the third generation couldn't help but sigh.
If he had also mastered the Forbidden Technique of Flying Thunder God, perhaps the tragedy that day would not have happened.
Withdrawing his complicated gaze, the third generation put his elbows on the desk and asked: "Zang, Yin, do you have any plans to return to ANBU? After the failure of this encirclement and suppression, the masked man will definitely take revenge on you... When Shisui is impossible
I will always be by your side."
The third generation's tone didn't sound like an order, but more like asking and soliciting opinions.
"Hiruzhan..." Danzo on the side frowned, but did not say anything.
After hesitating for a moment, Hyugazo shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Third Generation, we have no plans to return to ANBU. Working in ANBU is too tiring."
"Too tired." Sandai repeated, interpreting it as a polite refusal.
Serving as an ANBU under him is more tiring than serving as an ANBU under Yondaime. Do other ANBU think the same way?
After a pause, the third generation waved his hand: "Then, you can follow Jiraiya for the time being."
After speaking, Sandai motioned for Hinata Zang and others to go down, leaving only a few senior officials in the office.
Looking at Danzo who said nothing, Sandai asked: "Duanzo, tell me about your meeting with Orochimaru."
In the previous report, it was explained what happened to Danzo and Orochimaru.
Jiraiya was also a little more curious. Under the gaze of the two of them, Danzo talked about his experience of leading the Nebes to fight Orochimaru, concealing many details.
After leaving the Hokage's office, Hyugazo and others went to the venue where they used to train.
Several people here discussed their experiences during the roundup of the masked man. They also expressed a sense of fear about this experience. After all, they saw S-class rebellious ninjas who were rarely seen in ordinary times, and they appeared in large numbers.
When Hyugazo asked Kakashi about Yamato's situation, he learned that Yamato, who was originally participating in the encirclement and suppression today, suddenly became ill and injured and withdrew from the operation.
After seeing off Kakashi, on the way back to the clan, Shisui said worriedly: "Alas, if the news of the failed encirclement and suppression comes out, the village will be in turmoil again."
Hinata Zang nodded, Shisui said what he said was true.
The news that this time the village dispatched a large number of ninjas to surround and suppress the masked man failed, although it was a secret.
However, most of the Anbu who participated in the encirclement and suppression were members of the ninja clan, so the news would inevitably leak out, and even if it didn't, the political opponents of the third generation would reveal it.
And once the ninja clan knew about it, it would not be much different than the whole village knowing about it.
After a pause, Hinata asked Zhisui: "Are your eyes okay?"
After Zhisui glanced at Yin, he replied: "Recently, I have seen double images when seeing things... It's not far away from wearing glasses."
"Has it reached this point?" Hinata touched his chin and said jokingly: "Shisui, can I trust you?"
Zhisui hesitated for a moment and said: "I trust Yin, so..."
Hinagazou chuckled: "It doesn't matter, I also trust Yin. After all, we belong to the same camp, so why don't we take Yin as the head (head of the family)."
"Master..." Uchibo glared at Hinata Zang and said casually: "Zang, is this one of your many hobbies? Logically speaking, don't you prefer eldest ladies?"
Zhisui asked at this time: "Senior Hinata Zang, are your injuries okay?"
Before Hinata Zang could speak, Uchibo took the lead and said: "Shisui, be careful. Zang is very powerful. No matter where he is, I am not his opponent, except..."
Shisui automatically filtered out useless information and focused on Hinata Hideout.
In the previous battle, he had discovered Uchibo, possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and used the pupil technique on the masked man.
But everyone assumed that he was the one who performed the pupil technique, after all, he was the nominally number one master of Uchiha.
But it was actually Yin who cast the Kaleidoscope Eye Technique.
Seemingly noticing Shisui's gaze, Uchibo said, "My kaleidoscope was awakened by the battle after the encounter with the masked man."
Zhisui suddenly realized that he was nearby at that time, and the Awakening Kaleidoscope was cleaning up the situation.
At this time, Hinata took out a small bottle from the storage scroll on his waist and handed it to Shisui.
Under Zhishui's doubtful eyes, he slowly said: "Injecting the contents here into your body can effectively slow down the decline of your vision, although it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause..."
Shisui picked up the vial, felt the rich natural energy in it, and looked at Uchi Bo's position.
"Don't worry, it's not poison..." Hinata smiled and said, "It's my chakra. I have the title of Tennin in the clan."
Uchibo also advised: "I also use these chakras frequently. In addition to slowing down my decline in strength, it can also amplify the power of ninjutsu to a certain extent."
Shisui then accepted the vial and thanked Hinata Zang.
Hinagazou chuckled and said that he didn't need to worry about it, and then said as if he remembered something: "Shisui, how is Itachi's situation recently? I heard that he became a ninja."
